Meditation Talks with Paul Weiss

These introductory meditation talks offer varied approaches both to our entry and to our deepening into meditation: from dropping into the body - to awakening the heart - to integrating emotions; and even to that gentle shift of perspective that allows meditation to be present when a second before we thought it wasn't.  The talks can be supportive to both new practitioners and to 'old-timers.

The following talk is highlighted from our long series on tonglen practice. The whole series is available below.

The Radiant Sutras

This series is a commentary on sections of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, a luminous tantric text from the non-dual Kashmiri Shaivite tradition.  The translation we cite is from the beautiful and inspired work of Loren Roche (published as The Radiant Sutras, Sounds True 2024) and to whom goes our gratitude and our love.

The Teachings of The Aramaic Jesus

This Christmas/Solstice talk from 2020 takes a look at some of the Aramaic  etymology and meanings of the words Jesus speaks in The Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes.  We will explore the Beatitudes at greater length below.
